Motivated by the lack of information about Black Women's Fitness issues, I am creating a Community for Black Women to voice their concerns and discuss issues related to physical health. I will share information about my experience. We all know that the Black Women's experience has its complexities. From the prevalence of diabetes and breast cancer in our community to not working out because we just paid $75 dollars to get our hair done, there are a ton of issues!

Stress Weight Gain
Janice in 2003 as account executive for a major airline. This was a stressful job that consisted of driving the Chicagoland area to call on travel agents. Our family diet was take out and fast food because of my hectic schedule commuting all over Chicagoland. I had little time to prepare meals at home. My weight soared to the highest in my life.

1. Adding lemon or lime to your water makes it alkaline. When you body is in an alkaline state it makes it difficult for disease to exist in your body.
2. Eating an apple a day helps to cleanse your digestive tract. It is also a negative calorie food which means it burns more calories than consumed by your body.
3. Adding more fiber by eating more fruits and vegetables during the day because fruits are cleansers and vegetables are blood builders.
4. Drinking sixteen ounces of water when first wake up in the morning because this heaps to reduce your appetite during the day.
5. Walking or biking after dinner to aid digestion of your meals for the day.
